NBA This Week Sending Fact-Finding Group To Sacramento

The NBA is sending Thunder Owner Clay Bennett, who is leading the league's relocation committee, and an attorney to Sacramento Thursday and Friday "for a look at the city's efforts to increase corporate financial support" for the Kings and to "finance a new sports-entertainment area." NBA Commissioner David Stern said that Mayor Kevin Johnson's presentation last week at the BOG meetings in N.Y. "prompted the decision to give Sacramento a second look before deciding if the Kings may move to Anaheim next season." Kings co-Owner George Maloof said that the team "also plans to talk to the NBA fact-finders" (SACRAMENTO BEE, 4/19).
